So I've been wanting to find a cheap topper for my truck for a while now, but it's hard to find a cheap used one for these really short box trucks. Using a used pipe bender that I picked up years ago for $20 and some Maker Pipe fittings, I made a tarp topper that I can assemble in 5 minutes when I go to my son's scouting events.

Sadly, I miscounted the T-connectors that I'd need for the project (ordered now) so I only have two lateral supports per side instead of the four that I wanted to use to complete the project.

I've also ordered a couple telescoping clamps to make an awning to go over the tailgate.
